Medical Malpractice in Ontario: Your Questions Answered
What legally constitutes medical malpractice?
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional’s conduct falls below the accepted standard of care, directly causing harm or injury to a patient. This involves proving two key elements: a breach of the standard of care (the provider failed to act as a reasonably competent professional would) and that this specific breach caused or worsened your injury.
How long do I have to file a medical malpractice claim in Ontario?
In most cases, there is a strict two-year time limit, known as a limitation period, to file a lawsuit. This period typically begins from the date you knew, or reasonably should have known, that you suffered an injury as a result of potential negligence. For cases involving a death, the two-year period starts from the date of death. It is crucial to seek legal advice as soon as possible to protect your rights.
What does your 'No Win, No Fee' guarantee actually cover?
Our guarantee means you pay absolutely no legal fees upfront. We cover all the costs of litigating your case, which can include expert witness fees, court filing fees, and other expenses. We are only paid a percentage of the total compensation we recover for you at the successful conclusion of your case. If we do not win, you owe us nothing.
What kind of compensation can I receive?
If your claim is successful, damages are typically awarded to cover three main categories: the cost of future care (including medical treatments, therapy, and accessibility modifications), lost income (both past and future), and general damages for pain and suffering. The goal is to provide the financial resources necessary to put you in the position you would have been in had the injury not occurred.
Why are medical malpractice cases in Canada so challenging?
These cases are complex and vigorously defended by the Canadian Medical Protective Association (CMPA), a large and well-funded organization that protects doctors. Proving both negligence and causation requires extensive evidence and testimony from credible medical experts, making these cases expensive and difficult to win. We believe in being transparent about these challenges. Our experience in complex litigation prepares us to face these obstacles head-on and fight for the justice you deserve.
